Managing my guest list with both the website and the mobile app has been a challenge since some features work differently online and on the app. Example: "+1" vs "Plus One" Grouping house holds and adding multiple people in the app is much more clear than on the web page.

You should allow import of CSVs in the same format that you export. I had imported all guests in before getting their addresses and figured I could re-import them after putting their addresses into my excel doc. Instead, I now have the choice to either manually input all of the addresses I've gathered or delete and reimport the guests who's addresses I've gathered. The first is a lot of work, the second is even more work because I'll then have to re-sort them into households, re-enter their RSVPs, etc. If I could simply export my guest list as a CSV, make edits (like copying in an address column from a separate excel doc to the CSV), then import that edited CSV, it'd make this process so much easier.

Hello,
I absolutely love the app and being able to easily and quickly enter in acceptance/decline replies with their meal option. I love the drop downs that allow you to look at just the accepted or just the no response guests. However the frustrating part is that Ive gone through and put in all the information for my guests and i should be able to click a button and get the meal option counts to be able to give the venue instead of having to go through an physically count how many of each we need! Right now we dont have all our responses but itd be nice to put the meal option numbers into our spreadsheet for an idea of the costs seeing how different meals cost different amounts. I cant do a continual check without constantly going through an counting.

Thank you!!!

I'd like the option to make the wedding party another page on the website. The way it is set up now it seems like the first page just gets long with all the scrolling. Also the option to skip to sections on the first page would be nice if my guests want to skip straight to the details

This is definitely already on our radar and our Product team for wedding websites has heard from other members that they would love this ability as well. We hope that in the future it is something we can bring to our sites so you can continue to personalize the pages just the way you want. In the meantime, we hope you are able to find a way to work with the site and pages the way they are formatted so your information can stay complete for your guests.

I love that you can hide or show or even add any pages to your website under "Manage Pages." However, I wish you could somehow personalize the dropdown menu that automatically is pulled down when you scroll over any page link at the top. For example, I have a registry page on my website and I wish it had no dropdown menu. I have a specific note that I want all my visitors to read at the top of the page, but nobody sees that because they don't click on "Registry." Instead hey scroll over "Registry" and see that there's other options so they click on "Amazon" from that dropdown menu. So far nobody has clicked on "Registry" because when they scroll over it they click on something in the dropdown menu, therefore missing the note I typed at the top.

There aren't many options for people who are getting married in an alternative way. For example I can't check off the venue because we are getting married in our backyard. So your checklist to me is basically useless because I can't fully see that I've completed portions of the wedding planning because we are doing an alternative way without using vendors. I suggest adding options that allow you to just fill in your venue, photographer, etc. instead of having to choose from a list in order to check it off .

I have noticed that emails form the knot (notifications and verifications and newsletters) only address me as a registrant of the account and it bothers me. Since its a wedding website I created I would prefer if the emails would say "Dear Bride and Groom, ...", rather than always saying "Dear Bride, ..." I would like both names (registrant and co.registrant) to be acknowledged in the email address, especially in the wedding situation, where its about the couple really.

Right now, you allow the venue to describe their affordability. You should allow women to post the rates they were given. Glassdoor does this with salaries and it's a HUGE reason I go to that site. I thought of this because your site said that harvard art museum was "moderate" while it actually requires a $10k donation in addition to a $5k venue fee...Was kind of awkward to ask them the price after reading here. Thanks so much!!

I (the groom) created our account on The Knot, so, naturally, when you asked for "Your name," I put *my* name. However, it is traditional for the bride's name to appear first. Lacking this feature, I had to go through and redo a bunch of stuff on your site because I filled in the requested information without realizing that you would put my name first (like on our web site, with the wedding party, in the URL of the web site, etc.).

This is a great suggestion and we will be sure to pass it along to our team for review. In the meantime are you able to use * to indicate your different choices? Send us an email at help@theknot.com if you still need someone to look at this with you.

We are loving the Newlywed Fund! The site has been easy to use on desktop devices, but is nearly impossible to use when on a mobile device.
I cannot update it from my tablet or phone and we have received feedback from guests that they were unable to give us gifts from mobile devices either. With many people moving away from computers and laptops and toward tablets and phones, please improve the UI to be usable for these users.

The idea of this site is awesome, but you really need to work out a lot of bugs. Every time I go from page to page, or a new link the website moves so slow, like the link gets stuck. It seems like the website has too much information and being inundated with vendors pics, may be causing some of the slow down? Also, I wrote a beautiful story and sadly cannot upload any of my pics to bring the story to life. It seems like this is an issue across the board with other brides, and one of the most important things that should be fixed asap. I was very excited when I purchased my binder to use the website to its fullest, but it turns me off from recommending it to others when there are important areas that are not working properly and not being fixed. I think if this is a place for couples to share their story and plan,then that aspect of the site should be of utmost importance, not the vendors and listings that flood the home page.

First of all, I don't like the newest layout of the phone app. I liked having the photo and countdown all right there when you first open it. It's a bit more of a downer when you open the app and immediately see how much money you're dumping into the wedding. What if I'm logging in just to see the countdown? Anywho, that's not my main issue. When uploading a cover photo, it has me crop the image so that it's a square. However no matter what when you're done it's stretched out. This makes your app look very cheap in my opinion. I've reached out two other ways and it's been about 2 months now. Please fix!

When a RSVP email is sent it would be great to have the guests first name and last name on the email and that is the name they should use when finding their invitation.
So basically it is like a mail merge and you can add fields to the emails.
Even better if the RSVP email being sent out could have user defined fields eg {email} {firstname} and those details are taken from the guest manager information.

It would be great to have an additional field before the first name and after the last name to denote any formal headings/suffix for the guest (like Dr. or Honorable). This will be great when using this list to address my own invites, so I don't forget!

I've removed quite a few options from my budget as i'm just doing a vow renewal and not all the pomp and circumstance. I really think the budget should update the "estimates" based on what i have left for a clearer picture. I swear it used to do that when i used it before? Just a thought.
